The Scott City Times recently changed
hands. Mr.. Sam Kelly being succeeded by
Nessrs. Harvey Fleming and ND. Adams.
Mr.. Fleming being engaged on the EAGLE
as one of its local reporters, will not be
actively engaged on the Times, and Mr.
Adams has charge both as editor and man
ager. The first copy of the Times under
the new management shows that it has
fallen into competent hands; 1t gives evi-
dences that it will keep fully abreast Of the
times as news gather and exponent Of
good, wholesome republican principles.

M. NJ. Murdoch. of the Wichita EAGLE,
and well known over the state as the most
modest man In the United States, bushes
deeply and says: 'Wichita has thousands
of population more than Topeka, and one
has but to consult the official returns TO
verify the statement. Wichita in five years
will have double the population of Topeka,
as anybody who ever saw both places. or
has an ounce of reason will say" But
such remarks as the quoted ones above
are based on zeal not facts.-Topeka Jour
nal.
We insist upon the statement from facts,
Mac: If you doubt the statement just STEP
around to the Office of Secretary Sims and
consult the facts, the figures.

the value Of the annual product of both
gold and silver.
In round numbers the amo1nt Of inter
est paid on the roads last year was $780,
900, 900, and the amount Of dividends $751;
ESQ., 900. The latter figures are IL per cent
less than in 1883, but 5 per cent. more
than in 1885.
As to facts Of the present years rail-
road building-Mr. PORES statistics
being for 1SS5-accordiDg to The RGltoay
Age, trseklaying up to the first instant
aggregated Q, i62 miles, and according to
estimates by the anne paper from pretty
good data. the number Of miles OF new
road constructed during the entire year
will be close TO II, 600. This exceeds the
record for any previous year, the highest
being IL, 56s in 1882. Should this estimate
be realized, the mileage at the close of this
wear will not be far from l50,0 900 miles, or
nearly fully half the mileage of the whole
world.
As the country develops and ProsPers Its
railroads increase and rice uersd. There
can be no increase in prosperity withoutSa
corresponding increase in railroad facilities.
There is a lesson in this for Wheeling.

Republican Managers Disappointed In
Their Display OF Bastard Patriotism
Republican managers are disappointed


RuatinOsOn Aduefisn.
in their G. A. Z. demonstration at Wheel
ing last week. Bastard patriotism went
too far, and the proceedings are not sane
toned BY public approval. In fact. it is
generally observed that brutality and IN
deeeney seem TO have been the order Of the
day at the close of the meeting.
While many who were true soldiers dur
ing the war participated in the meeting.
the hummer element and camp followers
seem to have been in the majority, and to
have enacted some Of the ncst d~isgrsceful
scenes ever witnessed in this State.
The people of Ohio will shorty have an
opportunity to emphasize their disapproval
of The conduct Of their Governor. Ohio Is
q Republican State, but We doubt d the
thoughtful, intelligent voters will sanction
the course Of Foraker at Wheeling. He
was the guest of those people, yet he did
not hesitate to abuse their hospitality,
and insult them by making a political
speech full of bitterness and malice.
IL is self-eyident that the Grand Army
Of the Republic is rapidly losing its char
acter as a nom partisan organization and Is
becoming degraded into a rafting piece OF
Republican machinery.
Governor Wilson was perhaps unwlse In
rebuking the men who were proclaimiDg
the doctrine of sectional hate, brave and
true as were his words on the trying Occa-
sion. But he struck a key note when he
said, IF you men OF the e. A. K. think
YOU can stand such scenes and demOnstra-
tions as have occurred this day, the Demo
Gratis can stand it,"
In strong and significant contrast with
the malignant and unpatriotic declarations
of the Republican voters at Wheeling Is
the noble letter OF Roscoe Conkling to the
committee inviting him TO attend a re-
union of Federal and Confederate soldiers
at Evansville, Indiana, in which he says;
1T is an honor highly valued to be in
vited as one Of the guests Of Farragut Post
of the G.. A. K. at the approaching reunion
of surviving soldiers who fought on one
side and ON the other in the late war.
II beg you to receive my thanks, and to
believe ny regret sincere at being unable
to take part In obeerSanCeS OF 80 muCn iu-
terest and significance. My earnest sym
pathy and hope 90 to and 90 with every
movement and idea having for its real
purpose to weld together all sections
and classes and 10 make our country
throughout ali its borders united. prosper
Gus and great. Could with or aot of mine
decide, every community and neighbor-
hood in all the land should be crowned
with the fullness of peace and progress as
much a the South, as at the East, the West
or the North.
1.-THE brave men who faced each other
in battle can be the best teachers and the
most genuine actors of thus creed. Glad
that the reunion is to occur, and never
forgetful of the hospitality and kindness
received in the past from the soldiers and
people of Indiana, l trust that the occasion
will be an event of enjoyment, pride and
success

A CIRCULAR received at the Navy
Department from Chicago man, an
nounoes that he has solved the diff
culties of aerial navigation and 10 about
to build great air ship, with which
he will start, the Hrst OF June, next
year, on . voyage OF discovery to the
North Pole. He estimates that o
months time will suffice for the voy-
age, allowing ten days or two weeks
for scientific observations OF Arctic
phenomena. The ship will carry two
hundred persons and travel at q speed
OF seventy miles an hour. The inven
tor undertakes to carry with him repre-.
sentatives Of the press and scientists.
The essential feature OF the discovery
consists OF q great cylinder built OF thin
plates OF steel to which the psssen gel
car 10 attached. For ascensional force,
instead Of gas, . partial vacuum is used
and eight exhsusting screw propeliert
driven by electric secondary batteries
propel the craft.
